Hi German So, my advice is the following: > 1. Produce a full set of HLS segments for your source file and save > them in some folder that is not accessible to your users (archive). > ... >
Yes, that is the traditional way of doing it, but it would basically mean keeping a low res version of each and every file we have. [off-topic]A bit of context : I work for a TV station and we have around thousands of programs around. Each incoming program passes through automated check systems, and when an alarm is raised (e.g. a 30 second silence is detected in the middle of a movie), a colleague has to quickly check whether there really is an issue with the source file or if it is just a normal silence decided by the director. Currently, he has to connect to the file system and open the source MXF in a player to know for sure, which is not possible remotely. Creating a full HLS version for all incoming files would be a waste of CPU time and disk space for just a few 30-second checks... Hence the idea of presenting the list of alerts in a web page and allowing the user to start the playback of the corresponding part of the video, generated on the fly[/off topic] In that context, I would generate a "dummy" m3u8 pointing to yet-to-be-generated segments, the .ts segments being generated upon request (with an acceptable short delay of course).
